This site is being constantly updated and the newest ESL vocabulary topic will always be listed below so you can easily find new vocabulary to learn. Like the Excellent ESL 4U Facebook page to keep up-to-date with the newest pages on the site.

Your ESL vocabulary is the basic building
block used when you speak. If you do not know the correct word in English you
will not be able to have a conversation or write an essay. So one of the most
important areas when learning English is to increase your vocabulary.

If you are going to use your vocabulary you need to know it inside out. This means more than just recognising a word when you see it while reading (while this is important); it means being able to remember the word and use it correctly when under pressure while having a conversation and speaking to someone or writing an essay.

All the ESL vocabulary lists on this site are recorded by a native English speaker so that you can hear the correct pronunciation. These are then made into videos using the flashcards of each vocabulary topic. Below is the newest vocabulary video on the site.

Resources for Learning ESL Vocabulary

This section has many vocabulary lists,
exercises and activities to help you learn English vocabulary. All of which are
divided into topic areas so you can focus on the vocabulary that you need to
learn for a specific area.

There are:

Vocabulary lists with simple definitions of
the words that are specific for the vocabulary area being discussed.

Flashcards with pictures and definitions of
the words that you can download and printout to help you learn the vocabulary.

Spoken vocabulary lists where you can
listen to the vocabulary items being pronounced by a native English speaker.

Exercises that you can do on the site to
test your knowledge and understanding of the vocabulary items.

Worksheets for you to download to do the
exercises offline or with your friends.

You should start by studying the vocabulary
lists and definitions, and then use the flashcards to make sure you really know
the meanings of the words. At the same time listen to the spoken vocabulary list
so you will be able to recognise how the words sound and improve your own
pronunciation.

Once you know the vocabulary you can do the exercises to make sure you can remember all of it. Possibly do these a few days after learning the new words to make sure you really have learnt it. You should learn the vocabulary, then revise it before finally attempting the exercises.
